DC Brau presented a check for $16,311.60 to the Blade Foundation and SMYAL from the profits of the 2018 Pride Pils. The can was designed by Alden Leonard and featured on more than 28,000 cans of DC Brau’s flagship pilsner. DC Brau donates 100% of the profits from the beer.

“We’re thrilled to be able to donate on this level to two incredible organizations who do so much for the LGBTQI community,” said Mari Rodela, Chief Community & Culture Officer for DC Brau Brewing Company. “A huge thank you to our partners in the community, including Premium Distributing and retail outlets around the region, for supporting this beer in such a big way so we can make this happen.”
